Search results for sigma,991 in Adler number:
Greek display:    
Headword: *sta/qmia kai\ staqma/
Adler number: sigma,991
Translated headword: weights and measures
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
['Weights' and 'measures'] are used differently in speech. [sc. The former] are the things put on the pans of a scale.
Greek Original:
*sta/qmia kai\ staqma/: dixw=s le/gontai. ei)si\ de\ ta\ e)mballo/mena tai=s pla/stigci tou= zugou=.
Note:
The point of the entry is obscured in English translation; the headword phrase consists of two words that differ only by a single iota in Greek. Adler cites a scholion to Gregory of Nazianzus (61 Piccolomini). Contrast Pollux 4.173, who seems to equate the two terms.
Keywords: Christianity; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; economics; religion; science and technology; trade and manufacture
